The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 208 Peaks Standing Together

Chapter 208 Ten Peaks Standing Together
Li Yuan in the tower was quietly thinking about the ancient books. From now on, his real opponents would be the Taoist masters from all over the world and even the True Lord in the Heavenly Palace.

He knew very little about the True Lord, but he was very clear about the Golden Elixir realm.

From now on, he only needs to be a “prisoner” on the surface, and stay in this tower honestly and dutifully.

As for the many things in the outside world, no matter how the situation changes, no matter how wars and disasters there are, when it comes to crimes and responsibilities, none of them have anything to do with him.

……

It was midsummer, and the green mountains stretched for thousands of miles in the distance. The Qiling Sect, located in the Guangyuan Mountains, was a prosperous scene.

In the Fusang Square, the Fusang tree that had stood here for many years disappeared with the will of the sun. As early as when the ancestor of Qi Ling, Li Yuan Zhenren, ascended to the throne, it turned into a wisp of fire and returned to the sun.

Although the sacred Fusang tree in the sky has disappeared, a giant tree that supports the sky can stand again.

This tree is actually a pink peach tree, only a little over a hundred feet high. Although not as tall as the Fusang tree of the past, peach blossoms have bloomed every year since then, and the scenery is pleasant, which is more soothing to people’s hearts than the overbearing Bing Fire.

At this moment, Fuso Square was crowded with people and disciples.

Disciples from all peaks stood solemnly below the stage. Even the true practitioners who once could stand side by side on the stage could only stand below the stage now.

Among the deacons and disciples in the crowd, there were two who were quite close to each other, communicating secretly through whispering in the bustling crowd.

Wang Chaoqiu looked at the peak masters and elders on the stage and said with a little dissatisfaction: “Zhao Xin, if you change the name now, I’m afraid that we won’t be as majestic as before when we become true cultivators in the future. Don’t you care at all?”

Hearing this, Wang Chaoxin, who looked even more handsome than before, smiled softly and said, “It’s just a title. What’s there to be angry about? Now our Qi Ling Sect is a golden elixir force. How can the disciples in the sect be compared with them?”

“You are quite open-minded.” Wang Chaoqiu continued with some dissatisfaction: “In a few years, I will start to meditate on my magical powers in seclusion and prepare to break through the foundation-building stage!
When I come out of retreat, I am afraid I can barely call him a deacon. The old headmaster replaced the title of elder with the title of deacon, and the ancestor did not come forward to take care of it. “

“Haha, it’s just a name within the sect, why do you care?” Wang Chaoxin laughed out loud, “After all, we have to distinguish between the superior and the non-superior titles, and if you add the respectful title of the ancestor, it will naturally be less nice.

In addition, the old master did not like exaggeration and could not use immortal poems, ancient lyrics, beautiful scenery or other terms, so he could only change the disciples in the early stage of Qi training into menial disciples, the middle stage into outer disciples, and the late stage into inner disciples.

The foundation-building true practitioners are called deacons, and the higher-level true practitioners are called elders. Only in this way can the sect’s rules and regulations be consistent with the rules established by the predecessors.”

“Junior sister says so, but she actually talks about Elder Chaochen all day long. Tsk tsk, if you don’t know, you would think that junior sister and Wang Chaochen have a special relationship.” Wang Chaoqiu’s words were full of sourness, secretly pointing at her.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chaoxin’s cheeks flushed slightly, and he quickly covered it up by saying, “Brother, please don’t talk nonsense. Brother Chaochen is at a critical moment in his succession, and you must not let any inappropriate comments spread.”

Hearing the words of defense in the other party’s words, Wang Chaoqiu snorted in dissatisfaction, turned his head away and said nothing more.

On the high platform, peach blossoms fell in the wind, making everyone’s hearts flutter. There was no longer the majesty of the Fusang tree in the past, but instead there was the intoxicating fragrance of peach blossoms.

Chen Guan, whose waist was already a little hunched, looked at the expressions of the disciples below. Compared with the cautious Qi Ling disciple back then, they were more confident and calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and had the demeanor of a great sect.

He was quite happy in his heart, and said loudly: “Today, I have summoned all the disciples from the sect to come here because I have some important matters to announce to you.

I’ll say it first, these matters were all inquired by me personally, and were instructed by Patriarch Shenming!
Nowadays, Patriarch Li is meditating on the lake and ignoring worldly affairs, so all important matters in the sect are handled by Patriarch Shenming.

Even if you have any dissatisfaction in your hearts, you must understand the good intentions of the two ancestors for the mountain and the sect.”

“Listen carefully to the teachings of the ancestor and the headmaster!”

All the disciples said respectfully in unison.

Chen Guan rolled up the sleeves of his inconspicuous grey robe, not a single trace of luxurious clothing on his body. His once wise eyes had become cloudy after going through so much vicissitudes of life, and his once powerful voice had become old and hoarse.

“Today, I, Qi Ling, am different from the past. I have finally fulfilled my 4,000-year-old wish and established a Golden Elixir Sect.

Since it is called a sect, it should follow the rules and regulations to correct the principles. From the highest to the lowest, the sect is called the Jindan Realm True Ancestor. Only the highest level of True Cultivator can be called Elder Qi Ling, and the rest of the True Cultivators are called Deacons.

Those in the late stage of Qi training become inner disciples, those in the middle stage of Qi training become outer disciples, and those in the early stage of Qi training become menial disciples.

Your salaries and rewards will be established according to the old regulations.”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples present could not help but talk about it. Unlike the great reputation of Zhen Xiu Quanwei and the old master in the past, most of the disciples now have their hearts set on Qi Ling and truly regard Qi Ling as their own family. Moreover, they were all heroes who had protected Qi Ling, so they dared to speak out.

Chen Guan watched the scene in front of him, knowing that with Qi Ling’s disciples numbering tens of thousands, it would be harder to unite people and their opinions would be more complicated. Governing Qi Ling like this would be much more difficult than before.

He said loudly: “Whether they are menial servants or inner and outer disciples, they are all my Qi Ling disciples, not slaves or servants. Their status is determined only by their cultivation. So as long as they practice hard, menial servants can eventually become deacons or elders!”

After hearing this, the discussions among the disciples gradually quieted down.

Chen Guan then talked about the second thing, “Now there are many disciples in the sect. In order to manage the mountain and take care of the disciples, we have newly built two peaks. Now there are ten peaks in the mountain.

Qifeng is in charge of sacrifices, clan affairs, ceremonies and other matters, and Wang Qinshi, the elder of the Wang family, is the peak master!”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Not only were the Qi training disciples in an uproar, but even the true practitioners who had not known about it beforehand were quite shocked.

Shen Qingfeng, a slightly plump man in the crowd, was slightly surprised when he heard this. He knew this elder of the Wang family, because he had only achieved a breakthrough in true cultivation three years ago, two years earlier than himself. He cultivated the Ugly Earth magical power called [Xun Han He Qiu], which was the Ugly Earth’s killing move that combined Xun Feng and Shi Yin, and could use Xun Feng Yin Sand to grind away the soul, and use the Ugly Earth’s hidden power to suppress the physical body. It was rumored that his strength was quite powerful.

However, after all, his supernatural powers have just been formed and have not been shown in public battles, so it is still unknown how powerful he is.

He was distractedly thinking, and Bai Xuanhua beside him smiled and said: “Looking at the old master’s intention, I’m afraid that from now on you will have to practice true cultivation to serve as the peak master.

Except for the new leader of Shuwu Peak, all the true cultivators of the other nine peaks have a chance. Junior Brother Shen, why didn’t you prepare earlier?”

Hearing this, Shen Qingfeng shook his head and waved his hands, saying: “No, no, I am the least experienced cultivator in the sect, and the magical power I have cultivated is the [Jianlu Seal] of the Xinjin Dao, which is quite useless. It can barely be regarded as a magical power of the mind, which can accumulate wealth and bring good fortune and official rank.

But this thing is something that mortals do. What use can we, as immortal cultivators, have if we have mastered this magical power?”

“Junior brother, why do you have to belittle yourself? You must know that the magical power [Spring Rain] cultivated by Ancestor Li hundreds of years ago is also a useless and useless magical power of the mind in the eyes of true practitioners.

But now, who in the world doesn’t know the name of Qin Chunyu? Who dares to say that the ancestor is incompetent? “Bai Xuanhua smiled and said, “As long as you have an enterprising spirit and practice down-to-earth, you will gain something.”

“That’s right, senior brother!” Shen Qingfeng agreed with a smile. Looking at Wang Qinshi on the stage being awarded the title of Peak Master, his usually stern face couldn’t help but warm up a lot.

Chen Guan on the high platform continued to preach: “The matters concerning the refining of Lingfeng Master puppets will be handled by Deacon Fang Yan as the master of the peak.”

“Fang Yan? Why is it him?” Shen Qingfeng asked doubtfully, “This Senior Brother Fang is a sincere person, can he manage such a big business like Lingfeng? Not long ago, the old headmaster put all matters related to puppets under the management of Lingfeng. Can he manage hundreds of processes and thousands of disciples in the peak?”

“It’s hard to say about this matter.” Bai Xuanhua shook his head and smiled, “I heard that the headmaster plans to place all the true cultivators in different peaks, with ten peaks standing side by side, and the headmaster will be in the middle to coordinate and have the greatest power.

With so many true deacons sharing the burden, I don’t think there will be any major mistakes.”

“I see. The old sect leader is quite courageous.” Shen Qingfeng nodded and said, “This way, the new sect leader will be able to relax a little. With Senior Brother Wang Chaochen’s ability to accumulate blessings as the sect leader, I think our sect will have continuous good fortune in the future.”

“I hope so.” Bai Xuanhua replied with a smile.

On the stage, Chen Guan was still explaining the new sect system, “The chief of the weapon peak is in charge of weapon refining. Qian Liuyu will be the chief of the weapon refining peak!”

Chen Guan smiled as he looked at the beautiful woman who was appointed as the peak master. Qian Liuyu was a descendant of a branch of the Qian family that migrated there in the past. She had extraordinary spiritual roots and a good character. She cultivated a rare Si fire magical power called [Rongjin Tongshen]. Si fire and Shen metal were in conflict and harmony with each other, which was a destiny of longevity. She was quite outstanding among the current Qi Ling cultivators.

He continued, “The peak master studies the art of formation, refines formation plates and flags, and arranges formations and prohibitions at various locations in the mountain gate. Xiang Xi will be the peak master!

The master of Fu Peak is in charge of drawing talismans, precious scrolls, etc., and Li Hanxing is the master of the peak!

The chief of Dan Peak is responsible for refining elixirs and studying various elixir recipes to benefit the disciples and the sect. Li Yiyan is the chief of the peak.

A new peak is set up as the Spiritual Plant Peak, which is responsible for the cultivation of all medicinal gardens and spiritual trees in the mountain, and supplies the needs of each peak in different categories. Bai Xuanhua will be the peak master! “

A new peak is established as the Spiritual Mine Peak, and ordinary people and disciples are assigned to mine and supervise the spiritual mines in various places. Shen Qingfeng is the peak master! “

Chen Guan read out the names of several newly appointed peak masters in one breath, and everyone had different expressions.

The audience seemed to be bustling with activity and a scene of great splendor, but in reality, everyone had their own thoughts. Qi Ling’s disciples congratulated the true practitioners, and the disciples of the four major families, Wang, Xiang, Li, and Bai, were all proud to see their elders become peak masters.

The desire to compare is inevitable everywhere.

Chen Guan looked at everyone. He was an old man who had lived for more than 500 years and had experienced the changes of the Qi Ling Dao. He just smiled at Qi Ling today. Where there is competition, there is a profit to be fought for. Zuo Qiuyu once said: When the water is too clear, there will be no fish.

The fact that the disciples have a competitive spirit shows that the sect is full of vitality and is thriving.

If one is as cautious and prudent as Qi Ling was in the past, with everyone being of one mind and nothing to contend for, it would be a sign that a sect’s orthodoxy is about to collapse.

Chen Guan added: “From now on, I will truly step down as the head of the sect, and Wang Chaochen will serve as the head of the General Affairs Peak, and will also become the third generation head of Qi Ling!”

As he spoke, Chen Guan took out a black copper spirit tablet, on which was engraved a pattern of thousands of crows falling feathers and peach rain, with the word “Qi Ling” engraved in the center. He handed it to Wang Chaochen solemnly and said, “This is the order of our Qi Ling Sect Master, whose authority is second only to the two Jindan ancestors.

Anyone who sees this order, as if seeing the master, Qi Ling disciples, must respond to this order! “

Wang Chaochen’s hands couldn’t stop trembling slightly. After taking the mysterious order, he became the leader of Qi Ling, second only to the ancestor, and the pinnacle of power!
From this moment on, his shoulders no longer only bear his own destiny, but also the fate of tens of thousands of Qi Ling’s disciples!

He knelt down on both knees and said with deep respect: “Disciple Wang Chaochen thanks the master for his kindness, but if I accept this order, I will take Qi Ling as my own life, live and die together, and never regret it for the rest of my life.

“My Wang Chaochen’s intention today is known to all heaven and earth! If you break this oath, your soul will be shattered under the nine thunders, and there will be no escape!”

Wang Chaochen stood up, holding the Xuanling in his hand, and raised it high. Immediately, all the tens of thousands of disciples in the huge Fusang Square knelt on one knee. No matter if they were practicing Qi or practicing for the real purpose, no matter if they were mediocre or genius, they all knelt on one knee with their hands clasped, and shouted in unison: “Greetings, Master! We welcome the Master to take charge of Qi Ling!”

Amid the rising momentum, the huge aura caused dust to fly. Looking at the spectacular scene before him, Wang Chaochen’s mind was confused for a moment. So this is the taste of power!

But he came to his senses immediately, suppressed the many distracting thoughts that had arisen in his mind, raised his hand and said, “Everyone! Stand up!”

“Thank you, Master!”

The vast sound rose into the sky, startling the birds in the mountains to spread their wings and fly around the ancient land of Qi Lingmen, as if telling their ancestors about the prosperity of Qi Ling today!
Chen Guanzhan was on the stage. Watching this scene, he slowly laughed and quietly prepared to step down from the stage.

But at this time, a true cultivator asked: “May I ask the old master, you said that ten peaks run parallel to each other, but now there are only nine peaks. I wonder which peak is left?”

A handsome man with high eyebrows and handsome eyes, wearing a black robe, asked.

These words reminded everyone that they had not forgotten that the old master was talking about the Ten Peaks.

Wang Chaochen was also curious and asked, “Yes, old master, why is there still a peak missing? I don’t see any disciples from the tenth peak being assigned to move to other peaks, but there are not enough people?”

Seeing everyone’s eyes gathered towards him, Chen Guan chuckled and said meaningfully: “The tenth peak, the Law Enforcement Peak, stands to the west of the mountain gate. There is only one person, who is both the peak master and the law enforcement supervisor.

The Peak Master of Law Enforcement, Master Yuanchu!”

“Master Yuanchu? Who is this person? Why haven’t I heard of this person’s reputation in the sect?”

“Yes, what kind of person is this that the old master calls him? Why have we never heard of him?”

“Om~”

Peach blossoms all over the sky suddenly flew up, like thousands of butterflies gathering and spinning in the air. Gusts of spring breeze blew in all directions, and a slender figure suddenly appeared in the tide of peach blossoms. This figure wore a Taoist crown and had fair eyes. He looked like an immortal banished from the sky to the mortal world. Everyone’s eyes were unconsciously drawn to him, and it was impossible to take their eyes off him.

When Chen Guan saw this person, he immediately bowed and said respectfully, “Welcome to the Law Enforcement Peak Master!”

The Taoist smiled, and all the peach blossoms on the mountain fell.

A gentle but cold voice rang out: “I am Yuanchu Taoist, a disciple of Yuanshui. I am specially ordered by Yuanshui Zhenren to be in charge of the Qiling Law and to enforce punishments. From menial servants to the head of the sect, anyone who violates the law will be in my charge.”
